Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire
Chapter 202 A Cold-Hearted Political Monster
"What a big deal!"
Noah watched the team from the capital that was promoting the king's will go farther and farther away, and then looked at Xifuleiya who was already stunned on the side,
"How is it? Are you satisfied with the compensation given to me by the Augustus family? Do you still think it's a loss of face for me now?"
"Urnos, is he crazy?"
Hearing the question of the master, the dragon fairy Xifuleiya came back to her senses, but after digesting the news with difficulty, the dragon fairy gave the new king a more unbearable evaluation.
This is mainly because the news of the reward brought by the team from the capital, representing the will of the new king, was too shocking, and people couldn't help but want to verify the truth.
As the extension of the will of the Holy Dragon Noah, the fairy group suffered unprecedented political suppression in the capital, and tens of thousands of fairies lost everything.
This is not just a suppression of the fairy race, but can also be regarded as a provocation and contempt of the majesty of the Holy Dragon. Many of the followers under the Holy Dragon are restless because of this, and many dragon lords who are attached to the Holy Dragon are even more uneasy because of this.
That is, when the order of the kingdom gradually showed signs of unrest, a reward message suppressed all discussions, discussions, and actions taken to deal with certain unexpected events.
All the noise disappeared because the ruler of the capital expanded the territory of the Holy Dragon.
This is actually a very normal operation. After all, the group headed by the Holy Dragon is not only a giant that cannot be ignored in the politics of the kingdom, but also a pillar in the military of the kingdom. In the future, it will also become a monster group that looks down on other countries and is like a giant beast in the sky.
Such an operation can be said to be not surprising, but the strange thing is that the capital gave too much, so much that many members of the Augustus family could not bear it.
The bright city of Elishim, known as the Titan City, the Elves' Capital, the Knight Academy City, and the must-go place for spellcasters in the East, was assigned to Noah and became the fiefdom of the Holy Dragon.
This is a super city with a permanent population of more than three million, and with the floating settled population, it can exceed five million. It is no exaggeration to say that Elishim is the first city in the East.
The power of a city is enough to rival a country
The wealth gathered in this city is so much that many principalities on the continent can only look up to it, and the number of strong people gathered in it is beyond imagination.
Although not everyone is a transcendent and everyone can cast spells, the professionals of the Shining Gold Realm who can dominate most regions can be seen everywhere here. It is common to meet one in less than a hundred meters of shopping.
It was such a rich and prosperous city that made Teddel, who was ready to wear the crown, hesitate to make Elishim the capital when the kingdom was not established.
It was just that out of geopolitical considerations, Noah at that time persuaded Teddel to build the current royal city of Uther in the central area of the East.
But even Uther, which can gather the wealth of the entire kingdom, is still not as good as Elishim City.
After all, this city was built and developed by the Augustus family for more than half a century. During the Hell Disaster, it gathered the most resistance and wealth in the eastern part of the continent.
But such a city was given to Noah by the second-generation king Urnos, who had not yet come to power and was still hiding in the dark.
Such a reward, which was not enough to be described as generous, made many of Noah's followers who were originally resentful and wanted to do something speechless.
What else can be said?
This is Elishim City!
After the Augustus family really rose, the first city built, with the power of the family, has been built and developed for more than 80 years.
Uther is the origin city of the Augustus family. Now it has been rebuilt and become the capital. However, Elishim is the core of the Augustus family and the heart of the Augustus family.
Now that the heart has been sent back, no matter how big or heavy the resentment is, it is not worth mentioning in front of such a heavy gift.
That would be fine. Urnos, who has not yet ascended the throne, gave his uncle and teacher more than just Elishim as compensation.
Although the twenty-one acropolises built around this super metropolis were not directly allocated to Noah as his fiefdom, the administrative appointment power was given to Noah.
This means that Noah can appoint and dismiss officials who manage these cities at will, which is no different from directly allocating them to Noah as fiefdoms.
Such expansion and rewards directly dispelled all rumors that the Augustus family and the dragon clan were about to split and confront each other.
The Augusto family gave all the core fiefdoms before the establishment of the kingdom to the dragon clan. With such trust and kindness, anyone who says that the royal family and the dragon clan are in opposition will only be regarded as a fool.
The Atlas Kingdom was shocked by this reward. As for the Augustus family, it was not a shock, but a direct uproar.
Because this is equivalent to giving all the achievements of the Augustus family from the rise of the first generation of the family Cassius to the rise of Teddel and the establishment of the kingdom to the dragon clan.
It would be strange if there was no uproar!
Therefore, Urnos, who acted as the head of the family, showed that he was more iron-blooded and ruthless than his father.
Although he is not a legend yet, he is more than enough to suppress the family. Any family member who questions, disobeys, or even opposes his orders, no matter what their identity, status, or outstanding talent, will be killed!
Unlike his grandfather and father, he is about to ascend the throne and he does need to pay attention to the development of the family, but this does not mean that family members can question his orders and make decisions.
After completing this round of iron-blooded cleansing and truly controlling the family, the second-generation king set off, bringing a dragon fairy, and returned to the prosperous place of the family that he had abandoned.
"Uncle Noah, I came back here to apologize to you."
The King of Atlas, who came to Noah alone with a political felon, expressed his apologies to the Holy Dragon as a junior.
"Hahaha, what are you apologizing for? Did you do something wrong?"
Noah did not receive him in his true form, but extremely rarely, transformed into a dragon man to welcome the King of Augustus, which seemed very formal.
But anyone familiar with the Holy Dragon knows that this golden dragon will only show its true form when it is with someone very close to it, and in some public and formal occasions, it will abide by the etiquette of the metal dragon clan.
In the first gathering of the Gemological Society, in order to appear formal, even Noah, who became the head of the meeting, would transform into a dragon man.
But when the relationship gradually changed and most of the members of the society joined Noah and became his dragon lords, Noah would show his true form when meeting them to show intimacy.
"In order to establish my authority, I offended your majesty and damaged your face."
Urnos seemed to have not noticed that Noah this time was different from the golden dragon who taught him in the past. He lowered his head and explained respectfully.
"As a monarch, you should certainly establish your authority. As for my dignity and face, I don't feel that I have been damaged in any way.
On the contrary, don't you think it's too generous? Alishim, just give it to me like this?"
"You watched Alishim build up, and I think under your management, this city can develop better."
Uornos's answer was very beautiful.
"As long as the order of this city can be maintained, the prosperity of Elishim will only get better day by day. It does not need too much management and intervention."
"But no one is more suitable than you, uncle, to maintain the order of this city."
Uornos's attitude was very low, so low that Noah felt a little strange.
"Even I don't know this city as well as you do."
"That's because you haven't been here for long."
"Yes, I have been in this city for a very short time, and I won't have much time here in the future. Instead of that, it is better to let you, uncle Noah, manage it. I believe that uncle Noah can continue to make this city prosperous."
"This is natural."
"Uncle, you took over this city, you should have felt that there are some annoying existences in this city, please don't worry about it, just exercise the rights of the lord and expel them, I will be responsible for dealing with them."
"Annoying existence? I don't understand what you are talking about, you can make it clearer."
Noah narrowed his eyes.
"Some industries and conservative members of the Augustus family, I hope you can clear them out of this city."
"This is not good, after all, they are members of your Augustus."
Although there are fewer fairies distributed throughout the kingdom, the remaining fairies are enough for Noah to get the news at the first time.
For example, the round of suppression and purge that took place in the capital not long ago, the third generation of Augustus was more cruel and ruthless than his father.
"Of course, I don't ask you to expel them violently, but you can issue targeted decrees. In terms of administration, they can't find a foothold in this city. Many fairies in your hands are very good at these aspects. You just give orders and they can do very well."
Urnos said softly, but the goals and intentions contained in these words were as cold as an ice storm from the polar regions for the Augustus family.
The vast majority of the industries of the Augustus family members are concentrated in Elishim and the surrounding areas. Now the King of Atlas has taken the initiative to ask the Holy Dragon to clear all these industries.
This is forcing the Augustus family to migrate. The center of the entire family can only be moved to the capital Uther. The Augustus members who have lost their property can only rely on and unite around their king.
"...... Alas!"
Although Augustus gave very clear suggestions, Noah looked at the increasingly unfamiliar young man in front of him and couldn't help sighing.
"Do you feel embarrassed? Indeed. This does have a very bad impact on your reputation. It is really not appropriate to ask you to do this. I'd better arrange for someone else."
Uornos frowned, but soon made concessions and compromised.
Politics is the art of compromise. When the power is not enough to crush everything, he can only compromise and exchange the interests in his hands for the interests he wants.
"No, this is just a very small thing, but I feel that I didn't give you something at the beginning!"
Noah couldn't help sighing. He finally realized what kind of monster he had taught. This is a king who will do anything to achieve his goal.
Even his uncle, the actual teacher, in his eyes, is probably someone who can be exploited.
As for the family that gave him his surname, it was even less worth mentioning in his eyes. Just look at his attitude and you will know that those few light words cost Augustus a lifetime of hard work.
Abandoning the accumulation of half a life, going to the royal capital, and starting all over again, it is simple and easy to say. Are there no local interest groups in the royal capital?
How much energy does it take to carve out your own soil again? Even how many lives have to be paid, many Augustus who have entered their twilight years do not have such a cost to spend.
However, Urnos ignored this. He wanted the Augustus family to shift around his will, and those family members who could not keep up with him were not in his sight.
"What did you teach me less?"
Urnos asked very respectfully, like a humble scholar seeking elders and asking about his own shortcomings.
"To issue orders and implement policies, you have to go to different levels and see for yourself. You are a king and a monarch, but you are also a king and father..."
Noah stopped talking midway through his words, because although the young man in front of him seemed to be listening very patiently, he couldn't listen to anything now.
"Are you finished?"
Urnos looked at the dragon man in front of him, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.
"Be merciful to your subjects!"
Noah sighed and said the last sentence.
"I remember."
Urnos nodded solemnly, with a serious look on his face, as if he had firmly remembered the words Noah said and engraved them in his mind.
"Go!"
Noah waved his hand weakly,
"I will expel Augustus who runs an industry in my territory."
"Thank you Uncle Noah!"
At this time, Urnos showed a heartfelt smile,
"Allow me to resign!"
After this secret meeting, Noah followed what his eldest nephew wanted and used an administrative decree to force the Augustus family to move to the royal capital.
That is to say, when many Augustus were complaining and resentful, a new appointment order was issued from the royal capital.
"Appoint the dragon fairy Elfino as the governor of the Flame Fortress, in charge of the military affairs of the six cities, manage the administration of the six cities, and have independent taxation and justice..."
